Error creating element via web API

Solved1.26K views14th July 2023API Create Element Ports
1
Pilar Garcia96 3rd June 2022 1 Comment

Good evening,

I'm triyin to create an element using web API in DataMiner 10.2 and I have an error related to the Ports configuration. In order to simplify things I have started creating a Microsoft Platform element. When I configure tag Ports like this in SOAP IU:

<v1:Ports>
<v1:DMAElementBasePortInfo>
<v1:IPAddress>127.0.0.1</v1:IPAddress>
<v1:ElementTimeoutTime>3000</v1:ElementTimeoutTime>
<v1:TimeoutTime>1500</v1:TimeoutTime>
<v1:Retries>0</v1:Retries>
</v1:DMAElementBasePortInfo>
</v1:Ports>

Or:

<v1:Ports>
<v1:DMAElementBasePortInfo>

<v1:DMAElementSerialPortInfo> //Also tried DMASerialPortInfo
<v1:IPAddress>127.0.0.1</v1:IPAddress>
<v1:ElementTimeoutTime>3000</v1:ElementTimeoutTime>
<v1:TimeoutTime>1500</v1:TimeoutTime>
<v1:Retries>0</v1:Retries>

</v1:DMAElementSerialPortInfo>
</v1:DMAElementBasePortInfo>
</v1:Ports>

I get this error:

<soap:Reason>
<soap:Text xml:lang="es">Invalid port configuration: expected Serial but received Base.</soap:Text>
</soap:Reason>

If I remove DMAElementBasePortInfo tag:

<v1:Ports>
<v1:DMAElementSerialPortInfo> //Also tried DMASerialPortInfo
<v1:IPAddress>127.0.0.1</v1:IPAddress>
<v1:ElementTimeoutTime>3000</v1:ElementTimeoutTime>
<v1:TimeoutTime>1500</v1:TimeoutTime>
<v1:Retries>0</v1:Retries>
</v1:DMAElementSerialPortInfo> //Also tried DMASerialPortInfo
</v1:Ports>

I get:

<soap:Reason>
<soap:Text xml:lang="es">Invalid port configuration: expected Serial but received nothing.</soap:Text>
</soap:Reason>

How is the correct way to configure the Ports tag?. I need to create an element with 2 serial connections but I can't even create an element with only one. Can you help me, please?

The type has to be specified on the base DMAElementBasePortInfo tag:

<DMAElementBasePortInfo xsi:type="DMAElementSerialPortInfo">

You can find an example here.

The tags you can specify on DMASerialPortInfo can be found here.

Thanks for your answer, that is waht I missing. But still I have a response HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

This is what I’m sending, is there something wrong? Is there any log where I can check the reasons of the Bad request?
